Sorry for the bump, it seems the forum has a time limit before you can't edit a post anymore which is why I am posting this instead of editing my previous post:

I was debugging my form earlier and decided to add echoes due to it's strange behavior to see if I could tell where it's getting stuck. I added echoes after specific events so I could tell where the code stops processing.


The code appears to be getting stuck on the preg_matches, here is the php part of the code. Other than the echoes I haven't changed any code from my previous post. If I fix the problem I'll report back:

<?php
if (isset($_POST&#91;'submitted'])) {
        echo "Successful submit!";
        require_once('../includes/sanitize.php');
    
        //Sanitize data before validation
        $c_fname = sanitize(3, 15, $_POST&#91;'first_name']);
        $c_lname = sanitize(3, 25, $_POST&#91;'last_name']);
        $c_email = sanitize(5, 60, $_POST&#91;'email']);
        $c_email_2 = sanitize(5, 60, $_POST&#91;'email_2']);
        
        echo "Sanitization complete!";
        
        require_once(MYSQL);
        
        echo "MySQL included!";
        
        //Validate the first name
        return preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z\.]{1,15}/", $c_fname);
        
        echo "Preg_match for first name should have worked!";
        
        //Validate last name
        return preg_match("/^
        [a-zA-Z\-.]{1,25}/", $c_lname);
        
        echo "Name(s) validated!";
        
        //Is the email valid and not empty?
        if (empty($c_email_2)) {
            echo '<p>Please enter your email address in both fields.</p>';
        } else if ($c_email != $c_email_2) {
            echo '<p>The email fields do not match. Please confirm them again.</p>';
        } else {
            function isValidEmail( $c_email = null ) {
            return preg_match( "/^ 
            [\d\w\/+!=#|$?%{^&}*`'~-] 
            [\d\w\/\.+!=#|$?%{^&}*`'~-]*@ 
            [A-Z0-9] 
            [A-Z0-9.-]{1,60} 
            [A-Z0-9]\. 
            [A-Z]{2,6}/", $c_email);
                }
        }
        
        echo "Emails are valid!";
 
        if (!empty($c_email) && $c_email == $c_email_2) {
            $access = "SELECT Email FROM customers WHERE Email='$c_email'";
            $r = mysqli_query($dbc, $access) or trigger_error("Query: $access\n<br />MySQL error: " . mysqli_error($dbc));
        }
        
        //Insert information if email is unique:
        if (mysqli_num_rows($r) == 0) {
            $access = "INSERT INTO customers (Email, First, Last) VALUES ('$c_email', '$c_fname', '$c_lname')";
            $r = mysqli_query($dbc, $access) or trigger_error("Query: $access\n<br />MySQL error: " . mysqli_error($dbc));
        } else {
            echo '<p>Your email address could not be recorded due to an error, please try again.</p>';
}
mysqli_close($dbc);
} // End Submit IF.
